Alongside a small crowd of superfans were a number of famous names including fashion designer Henry Holland, singer Vanessa Parsons, presenter and DJ Lorcan London, radio presenter and former model Lilac Parsons, and actors Laura Pradelska and Emily Atack.

During the cosy concert, Faith revealed she had initially avoided tie-ups with corporations because she didn’t feel comfortable with using her music “to sell things”, but Skoda was an exception because “I feel like a Skoda myself”.

Looking every bit the star on stage, she clarified: “When I was at school people used to laugh at Skodas. People used to laugh at me, too. But now I think some Skodas look pretty cool.”
